Description
Have you been wondering what the point of visiting factions is? Look no further, this mod is the answer.

- Convince visitors to join your faction!
- Increase faction relationships!
- Treat visitors well by providing them with rooms, guest beds and joy activities!
- Sell them junk by placing it in their shopping area! (shelves and containers work too)
- Happy guests will help out with your chores!
- Guests can be invited via the Comms Console!
- There is a tab that lists all present guests!
- You can set up dispensers as vending machines!

Can be added mid-game.

Instructions and more information
Can be found HERE.

Load order
Hospitality works best when loaded as late as possible. You can safely put it at the end of the list.

Known incompatible mods
- Any mod that gives guests animals (or slaves),
- Giddy Up (works fine, but guests won't use mounts)
- Colony Manager (you will need to start a new game, or your work priorities will be jumbled - you can use Fluffy's Work Tab to prevent/fix this)
- Xenn faction mod (their guest groups won't spawn)
- Custom storytellers that are not fully / correctly implemented (guest tab won't show. Always load Hospitality after storytellers)
- Outfitted mod (guests won't buy things)
- Area Inclusion Exclusion (pawns won't spawn)
- Denser Beds (bunkbeds break when turned to guest beds)
- Ignorance Is Bliss (factions out of your tech range won't visit)
- Keep Bed Ownership (guest beds can't be destroyed)
- Simple Sidearms (will not work correctly if the "don't drop equipment" option is on)
- Explorite Core (guests won't be able to claim beds)
- Simple Food Selection (constant no food alert, lag)
- Camping Tent (stats are lost when converting to guest bed)
- Android Tiers Reforged (dressers and end tables stop working for regular beds)
- Food restrictions (not a mod, but guests use the default restrictions. Changing them can cause them to never eat)
- Better Loading (guest beds disappear / can't be placed)

Recommended mods to use with
- Smarter Visitors: Visitors won't leave when there is danger on the map
- Snap Out!: Allows skilled wardens to calm people with a mental break down
- Where Is My Weapon?: Downed pawns will pick up their dropped stuff again once they can walk
- Spaceports: Allows for another source of visitors (shuttles) that can greatly increase your visitor traffic
- Multiplayer: This mod now should work with multiplayer (this changes almost daily). I am giving NO SUPPORT, concerning that. You'll have to find that in the multiplayer community. Only use multiplayer if you know what you're doing.
- Linux Harmony Fix to prevent crashes for Linux users.

Reporting bugs
Should you encounter any issues, first make sure the mod has updated correctly. You do this by unsubscribing and resubscribing whatever mod you think causes the issue. Then restart Steam. If this doesn't help, clear out your downloaded mods folder and restart Seam.

If the issue persists, press CTRL-F12 (right after the problem occurs!) to upload your log and paste the link and a description of what went wrong HERE[github.com] or in the discussions section. If possible, provide a screenshot of the error, the link to your log and an explanation of what happened. This will speed up fixing the problem tremendously.

In 90% of all cases, the problem is a conflicting mod, failed update or a corrupted installation on your side. First try to resubscribe this mod (and restart Steam), then try a different load order. The Mod Manager mod and Mod Sorter[bitbucket.org] can help find obvious issues.

If you just complain and don't include an error log, I'm not gonna do anything about it.

Requesting features
You can request features HERE[github.com]. I will generally not do anything with requests written in the comments below. However, I don't usually do requests anyway.

Is this mod safe to use?

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .

There is a folder in the .zip archive. To install the mod, move the entire folder (not just its contents) into 'Mods' folder located under your RimWorld root isntallation folder.
So, for steam version of the game, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods
For any other distribution, firstly locate your rimworld installation path and then unpack the archive into the 'Mods' folder.
Then enable the mod in the game mods menu by double clicking on its name and restart the game
